Our research in space robotics focuses on developing intelligent systems designed to operate in the challenging environments of planetary exploration. This includes the design of space rovers, robotic arms, and autonomous navigation systems that can function independently in moon and Mars-like terrains. A key aspect of our work is the development of reinforcement learning agents capable of autonomous, map-free navigation. These agents are trained to avoid obstacles and navigate complex terrains without human intervention, ensuring that robots can operate effectively in environments where communication delays or interruptions are common.

In addition to individual robotic systems, we also explore swarm robotics for multi-robot cooperation, enhancing the capabilities and coverage of robotic missions. Our goal is to increase the autonomy of robotics in space exploration, enabling efficient resource utilization (ISRU), and advancing off-earth manufacturing processes. By pushing the boundaries of what is possible in space robotics, we aim to support long-term human presence and exploration beyond Earth.
